Ok, I know it has been a long time since I posted anything on this blog. I previously decided to just stop trying to lose any weight. I had such a hard time sticking to the protocol so I just gave up. I still watched what I ate somewhat but not really caring. I was starting to feel a little uncomfortable and then I realized that I gained back 15 lbs! It is amazing how fast you can gain if you let yourself go. I just ordered some more Hcg and it should be here in 2 weeks.

I do believe that Hcg does work when you follow the entire program. Honestly I never followed Phase 3 like I was supposed to so my weight was never set.

P2R3 VLCD Day 2

2009-06-15T16:02:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to write a quick update. I started my 3rd round of Phase 2 on Friday. I loaded on my trip to New York this weekend which was perfect. New York is known for great food..lol I didn't get a chance to weigh in before I started because of TOM. I will post my weight tomorrow morning. I am really looking forward to losing as much as I can this time. Until tomorrow!

Still on Phase 3....

2009-06-04T05:31:00.001-07:00

I know it has been some time since I have posted anything about my progress. I am a little up from my LIW but I am really not following phase 3 100%. My sister and I are taking a much needed trip to get away next weekend. I will start another round and load during the trip.I had a bad round last time but I am ready to start again. On a good note my sister has lost more weight on her own and my mother started Hcg 11 days ago and is down 12 lbs!! I am so proud of my family and their success. I will start blogging again during my next round. Until then!

P3 Day 3

2009-05-22T19:21:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since I have posted anything. I decided after a bad round to just stop and start Phase 3. I had a hard time but I am not giving up. I am now at 184 lbs. I will start another round the week of June 15th after I get back from my trip to New York. I hope that my next round will be better. I had so many setbacks that I could not get it together.

Thanks Shawn for checking in on me. I am truly grateful for being a part of such a supportive community. BTW I am back at the gym and feeling great.

P2R2 VLCD Day 16

2009-05-11T06:11:00.001-07:00

I finally weighed in at 184 lbs. but now TOM is here so I don't expect to lose anything for a few days until it's gone. This weekend was so busy with parties and Mother's Day. It was wonderful but I am glad it's over. I am so tired so I will rest today until I have to take my little one for her 4 y/o checkup. I have decided to stay on Hcg until this new mix is done. This round is pretty tough on me but I am probably going to do another around July with my Mom. My sister is doing really great. Oh well, I will post more later.

P2R2 VLCD Day 12

2009-05-07T10:31:00.001-07:00

I have not blogged in several days because I am struggling with this diet. Thank you everyone for your support and kindness. I am going to my doctor today to talk to him about the protocol and get more Hcg. I have been yo-yo'ing up and down from 185 & 186 lbs. Hopefully I can get my butt in gear and stop fooling around. I don't want to be a failure at this but it seems to be turning out this way. I have also started going back to the gym which is the best thing I have done so far. It feels so good to be back into my "old" routine. Working out stalls my weight loss but I have to do something to get out of my rut. TOM is WAYoverdue and I am wondering if that is what is hindering my success. I did so well the first time and I just don't understand why I am struggling. Ok, enough of that! Moving on, I have a plan this week to just workout 3 days and do a moderate routine, eat the right foods and stay on track. Wish me luck!

P2R2 VLCD Day 9

2009-05-04T11:39:00.000-07:00

Well, this weekend was horrible. My weighed stalled at 186 lbs on Friday and felt horrible about it. My mood went from excited to angry. So unfortunately I ate horribly this weekend. I acutally felt like quitting due to the fact I was still having hunger pangs up until yesterday. This morning I had to refocus and get myself together. It is just so hard to stick to the diet if you are hungry. I had to up my dosage a couple of times to stop the hunger. I am no longer hungry thank God, but we had another issue. The Hcg that I ordered from online over 2 weeks ago never arrived. So, my sister and I have to go get the Hcg from another source that cost so much more. I am pissed about that. But I guess everything happens for a reason. We are celebrating my little girl's birthday this weekend which means "CAKE"! My weakness.... I am praying that I can get through the party without eating anything. I know that I will be able to get back on the losing track this week. Until next time!

P2R2 Day 5 Amazing loss!

2009-04-30T10:06:00.000-07:00

Just a quick update. I weighed in this morning at 186 lbs. I was so excited that I weighed myself 3 times. Every time was the same amount. I think that is what I needed after yesterday's weigh in.

Until tomorrow!

P2R2 VLCD Day 4

2009-04-29T14:10:00.000-07:00

I suck at eating out. I got stuck at the mall yesterday at lunch time. So I just got some chicken from the food court and it didn't have anything on it ( I thought). So this morning I weighed in at 189 lbs. No gain no loss. It is really hard to be on such a strict diet when you have to eat out. Earlier I was feeling like a failure and was ready to quit. I think it could be my hormones too. TOM must be on the way..Ugh! I am not a quitter. Another thing is that you have to be near a bathroom 24/7. This round seems to be harder than the first. I just have to stay focused and try not to get in the situation where I don't have my food when I am out. Oh well, Until tomorrow!

P2R2 VLCD Day 3 (2 lb. loss)

2009-04-28T05:46:00.001-07:00

I am so excited! This morning I weighed in at 189 lbs! So I am back down to my starting weight before I loaded. That is 4 lbs!!

I really need to drink more water. I caught a cold from my kids and I am really struggling. I have been trying to ignore my sickness so it will go away but it just keeps hangin' on..lol Yesterday I went shopping to get a few things for the warm weather. I picked up a pair of pants that I knew I could not fit until I lost more weight. I brought them home and they fit!!

Anyways, I hope by Sunday I will be back at 183 lbs. We shall see! Until tomorrow.

P2R2 VLCD Day 2

2009-04-27T05:41:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I had a little hunger issue. I decided to call Whenhealthmatters to see if they had any idea why I have hunger pangs. I thought that maybe if I switch to injections from sublingual that it would be better for me. I decided that maybe I should stick to what I am doing for now and just space my food out during the day like I did in R1. This morning I weighed in at 191 lbs. for a -2 lb loss. I got on the scale last night before I went to bed and the scale was at 196 lbs. That was definetly water fluctuation. My husband just left to travel for work today. He will be gone for the week. So now I am really happy that I don't have to cook big meals. If I could stay away from food all together that would be great! LOL..

Thanks everyone for the uplifting comments. You all are a great support team! I feel really good about this round.

Until tomorrow!

P2R2 VLCD Day 1

2009-04-26T11:32:00.000-07:00

Loading was a serious task. My sister and I managed to eat everything we could possibly think of. It made me so sick to eat so much junk. After a weekend of gorging I weighed in at 193 lbs. So that is a 4 lb gain! Hopefully I will be back at my LIW of 183 lbs. by the end of the week. The only reason why I think that would be attainable is that before I began loading I weighed in at 189 lbs. So the 4 lb. gain is just from this weekend.

It feels so good to be back on Hcg. It is amazing how many benefits that it gives me. Right now the pollen count is extremely high in my area. I suffer from the worst allergies and I don't feel a thing. Another great benefit is that my skin clears up and I don't get headaches.

Here's to another great round! Until tomorrow.

P2R2 Loading Day 1

2009-04-24T06:19:00.000-07:00

I have been looking forward to this day since I started P3. LOL..This morning I weighed in at 189 lbs. That is +6 lbs more than my LIW of 183. I am hoping to get back to 183 by the end of my first week of P2. I learned alot of tricks and found out what foods help me to lose the maximum amount of weight. I hope to lose at least 20-25 lbs this round. Until tomorrow!

Counting Down...P3 Day 16

2009-04-18T11:55:00.000-07:00

I am so done with Phase 3. I am ready to start Friday. This past week I was such a slacker. Since I was not able to work out during my last round, I am having a hard time making it to the gym. (my weight seemed to stall when I exercised) I think I went once or twice this past week. I used to go every weekday before I started Hcg. Yesterday I enjoyed the afternoon in Georgetown with my sister. It was the first day that it didn't rain. I cannot stand Virginia weather. LOL.. I received my email notification that my shipment of Hcg is coming today or Monday for my next round of Phase 2. I have some still left over from the doctor. I decided that I may try this next round on my own. I did find out what worked for me the last round so I know that I will be okay. I have 1 friend starting with me this week and another probably at the EOM. So many people have asked me what I am doing and how I lost so much weight. I don't see the weight loss like everyone else has. My husband was bragging to my neighbor the other day about how good I look and how much I have lost. The funny thing is that he didn't support me when I first started but now that I am losing and keeping it off he became interested. I guess after I have failed at every diet in the past he was a bit skeptic which I can understand. I really don't need any support because I get enough motivation when I see that scale moving south. I hope that everyone has a great weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather if you are in the DC metro area! Happy Earth Day!

P3 Day 12

2009-04-14T11:38:00.000-07:00

Well, unfortunately I cannot go back on Hcg until next weekend per my doctor & Simeons Protocol. I think I just got ahead of myself. LOL.. Unfortunaely TOM is supposed to show up around that time so that may postpone my next round. I had a steak day yesterday and lost 4 lbs. I am assuming 2 lbs of it was water. I am now at 186 lbs. I ate horribly this past week on vacation. I am paying for it now. I am back at the gym which felt great. I hope everyone had a great holiday!

P3 Day 9

2009-04-11T10:33:00.000-07:00

Well I am back from vacation and I am weighing in at 185 lbs. Even though it is only 2 lbs over my LIW I think it is ok. I am probably going to do a steak day on Monday. This whole week was very interesting. I pretty much ate what I wanted but that did come with consequences. I got horribly sick the other night. I think I just ate too much meat and it didn't agree with me. The funny thing too is that I also got a little sick every time I ate bread. Hmm... I may be allergic so I am going to cut that out of my diet. Last night I went to a Girl's Night Out. It was fun. I really could not eat too much but I did have a piece of cheesecake. I know it is bad but it was soooo good! LOL

I had a conversation with my lovely sister and we are really done with P3. Since my body seems to have changed and rejecting most of the foods I used to love so much I am ready to go on to round 2 of Phase 2. She feels the same way. I think it is just the excitement to be able to loose the weight that has got us both feeling so "done". So with all that said we will begin P2R2 next weekend. We are waiting for the 2 weeks to be able to load and go another round.

Happy Easter everyone! Be safe!

P3 Day 8

2009-04-09T15:01:00.000-07:00

I am on vacation this week but I wanted to post a quick blog. I weighed in at 183 lbs this morning so I am holding steady at that weight. I did gain 3 lbs a few days ago but I lost that quickly. I will be home vacation on Monday.

Thanks to my fellow blogger Shawn I will be able to continue using Hcg after my next round. Thank you Shawn!

P3 Day 2

2009-04-03T10:30:00.001-07:00

This morning I weighed in at 183 lbs. TOM is now gone and I am doing so well on Phase 3. It was so exciting to be able to go out and be able to eat. This weekend will be fun and full of activities. Next week is Spring Break for my oldest and we are going away with family. I probably won't be able to blog too much next week. I am really looking forward to my 2nd round of P2 at the end of the month. Have a safe and happy weekend!

P3 Day 1

2009-04-02T05:22:00.000-07:00

This morning I weighed in at 185 lbs. TOM is almost gone so I think I may weigh a little less in a few days. I am not hungry and I don't know if it is good or bad. This morning I plan to eat eggs with veggies. I am really looking forward to the foods in P3. I know there were several questions on my last blog I posted and I will try to give a better explanation of what I am doing. My doctor informed me that you will not become immune from Hcg if you use it orally. He has tested the Hcg himself and found that to be the case. As far as the 6 wk waiting period that is only if you do the injections. I decided to take 3 weeks due to my event schedule for this upcoming month. Between holidays and family functions I didn't want to feel too restricted with my food intake.

I also wanted to share that a friend decided to join my sister and I for the next round. I have told quite a few people about the Hcg Protocol and several people commented that they didn't think it was possible to eat so little food and not be hungry. It is amazing what excuses people say to stay unhappy and overweight. I honestly believe that you really have to be motivated to do this program.

If anyone still has questions you can email me at zian_99@hotmail.com. I will post my measurements as soon as TOM leaves. He is such a jerk...lol. Until then!

Wrapping up VLCD @ 183 lbs.

2009-03-30T14:13:00.000-07:00

My sister and I decided to wrap this round up on Sunday and start Phase 3 today. So now I am doing the 72 hr VLCD until Thursday. TOM came on Saturday so I didn't get to post my weight because it came unexpectedly. My last LIW was 183 lbs for a total of 20 lbs lost. After TOM leaves I will post my weight and measurements. We are doing 3 weeks of Phase 3 and then another round of Phase 2 for 23 days. I am thinking about doing injections instead of sublingual just to try another method.

P2 VLCD Day 26

2009-03-27T05:47:00.001-07:00

Well I finally made it to 20 lbs lost! I weighed in this morning at 183 on the dot. I met with my doctor to get more Hcg and he was surprised to see how well my sister and I are doing on the plan. It is weird that we have both lost the exact same amount of weight. I also have to report that I tried on everything in my closet yesterday and everything fits or is too big!! Now I am so thrilled that I stuck with it. This protocol is so hard and I don't think I would have made it through without all of the support from my family, friends and especially the people that comment on my blogs. I appreciate ALL of you! Here's to 19 more days!! I know I can do this!

P2 VLCD Day 25

2009-03-26T09:21:00.000-07:00

Sorry I have been MIA. It has been a frustrating week so far with my weight loss. Today I weighed in at 184 lbs. I was only losing .2, .4 and now finally got to 184. It is my eating. I was struggling with snacking. This diet is not for a weak person at all. I have 20 more days to go. I need to focus more on the food than the results. Until tomorrow!

P2 VLCD Day 22

2009-03-23T11:24:00.000-07:00

Ok, the weekends are tough for me. I had a hard time from snacking. TOM never came and I was really constipated so I had to drink smooth move to get things going again. This morning I weighed in at 185 lbs. That is not what I was looking for but I have to own up to it. Since I have started I have lost a total of 18 lbs!! My goal this week is to loose at least 5 lbs.

Before I started the Hcg I was working out 4-5 days a week and I have stopped going to the gym because of what I was told about this diet. I just could not take it anymore.....so, I got up this morning and hit the gym. I only did cardio so I hope that won't mess me up too bad. I was starting to feel down and just blah so I knew I needed to get back into my routine again. Now, I feel wonderful. After the gym this morning I went and hit the mall. Just getting out and enjoying life again. The weather is getting warmer and I want to look good. I am ready! Until tomorrow!

P2 VLCD Day 19

2009-03-20T05:51:00.001-07:00

I weighed in today at 186 for a total loss of 17 lbs.! Finally back to losing! I have been on a roller coaster of emotions this week and weighing in and seeing no change was driving me nuts. Today should be ok. I am going to a b'day party around lunch time but I am bringing my own food. Later on we are having a family dinner (that I am cooking) to celebrate my husband's birthday. Hopefully I will have another loss tomorrow. This is what I ate yesterday:

Breakfast: hot tea
Lunch: beef soup (same recipe as yesterday but sub. beef)
Snack: orange
Dinner: chicken patty & green beans
Hot tea and Water all day

BTW my rings don't fit. I am going to have to put them away pretty soon until I am finished losing! :)

P2 VLCD Day 18

2009-03-19T05:21:00.001-07:00

This morning I weighed in at 187.4. No loss and no gain. Last night I went out with some friends and ended up eating a basket of fries. I didn't realize that I was eating them until they were almost gone. At least I stuck with the unsweet iced tea. They were so shocked at how much I lost. It was motivating to me to lose more weight. Today will be a good day. I have lots to do at home. This is what I ate yesterday:

Breakfast: coffee & grissini
Lunch: Mexican chicken soup (chicken, cumin, oregano, basil, onion powder, water, and tomato)
Snack: orange
Dinner: chicken, lettuce, orange

I need to make better choices when dining out. Until tomorrow!

P2 VLCD Day 17

2009-03-18T05:37:00.000-07:00

I had a pretty bad day yesterday and I think it was PMS. I feel much better today. I weighed in at 187.4 lbs. So now I am down a total of 15.6 lbs. I thought I'd try green beans with my chicken for lunch yesterday. I guess that was not a great idea. Today I will not try to change the Protocol. The food is just so boring to me now. I am used to eating sandwiches and not having any bread is so annoying. Hopefully today will be a good day. Until tomorrow.

P2 VLCD Day 16

2009-03-17T10:24:00.000-07:00

I am really irritable and hating this food. I weighed in today at 188 so I gained 1 lb. TOM is still not here but I am swollen like a balloon. Yuck! Until tomorrow..

P2 VLCD Day 15

2009-03-16T05:44:00.001-07:00

Just a quick update. TOM is playing games. It started to come and then stopped. "He" is really getting on my nerves..lol I guess it will really come this week. I went away for the weekend and that was challenging. I weighed in today at 187 lbs. for at total of 16 lbs. so far. I will update tomorrow if it's still not here. Until then!

P2 VLCD Day 11

2009-03-12T07:13:00.000-07:00

I weighed in today and I am at 190 lbs. My TOM is coming any day so I will not be weighing in for a few days. Until then!

P2 VLCD Day 10

2009-03-11T04:40:00.000-07:00

Well, I messed up. TOM is coming and I was craving chocolate so bad yesterday that I started to eat a cookie and then spit it out. UGH!! I suck I know. I thought I was so strong. Today I am at 189.8 so I lost 1 lb. I will try not to mess up again.

I talked to my doctor last night and he raised my dosage a little. He says that I am not getting enough Hcg in my system and that is why I was hungry. After I had my dosage last night I felt awesome. I woke up at exactly 7am on the dot and I feel great. I guess this is how you are supposed to feel! Today I plan on going to the gym for a light walk and to get out of the house. Here is what I ate yesterday (nix the cookie):

Tuesday
Breakfast: coffee,melba toast
Lunch: steak, cabbage
Snack: orange
Dinner: chicken, lettuce, melba toast
Snack: 1/2 grapefruit

Hopefully I will see a better loss tomorrow. Until then!

P2 VLCD Day 9

2009-03-10T06:51:00.000-07:00

This morning I weighed in at 190.8. So I lost -.2 lbs. Total loss so far 13 lbs! I am very happy with that. I know I didn't drink as much as I usually do yesterday due to the fact I over did it over the weekend. I thought that I should drink exactly 1/2 gal but I guess I was wrong. I woke up this morning hungry. I know that I should not be feeling hunger at all so I have to call my doctor and let him know. I am not struggling so much anymore with preparing the food for my family. I am getting used to it. I was watching another Hcg dieters blog on youtube and he said that he thought beginners to the Protocol should start off with 23 days instead of the full 45 days. When I started with my doctor he told me that this diet will last for 45 days and that I would not have to stop if I wanted to go beyond that. Many people have posted that they get immune to the Hcg after a while. Does anyone know when that starts happening? I hope I actually last to 45 days. I am already tired of the meals. I have cooked the chicken, fish and beef every way that I can think of. I think I am missing bread the most. My morning ritual of eating toast is getting to me. lol....oh well. Here is what I ate yesterday:

Monday
Breakfast: coffee & melba toast
Lunch: steak & lettuce
Snack: orange & breadstick
Dinner: chicken & cabbage
Snack: orange
1/2 gal water, 2 cups of hot tea

Until tomorrow!

P2 VLCD Day 8

2009-03-09T06:10:00.000-07:00

Whew! This weekend was tough and I am glad it's over. I have heard people say that this diet gets easier as you go along but I am having a tough time sticking to the protocol. It was hard being the kitchen preparing food all weekend and not tasting any of it. I think I was a little irritable because of that.

This morning I weighed in at 191 lbs. I was so excited that I got back on just to make sure and it read 190.8 lbs. But since that was my 2nd time weighing so I counted the first. So I am down 1.4 lbs!! This diet is really opening up my eyes to see that I had a problem with food. I think it is because I am a SAHM and I am home all day sometimes. I must have been eating when I was bored. Hopefully my mindset will change in these next few weeks. Yesterdays meals are posted below.

Sunday
Breakfast: coffee & 1 melba toast
Lunch: beef, lettuce, breadstick
Snack:orange
Dinner: 100 g tilapia & cabbage
Snack: strawberry smoothie (strawberries blended with ice and stevia)
1/2 gal water and 2 cups of tea

P2 VLCD Day 7

2009-03-08T10:11:00.000-07:00

Well, I am up .4lbs today. So now I am at 192.4... After getting over the horrible dissapointment this morning I quickly realized what I did wrong. I ate 2 veggies for lunch. I didn't think it would make a big difference but on top of that I think I drank too much liquids. On my way to p/u my meds, I used lotion in the car. Ok. I have learned my lesson and boy was it a hard one. I have learned from my mistakes and I am over it now. So today I am sticking with the Protocol. Until tomorrow!

Requested From My Lovely Sister

2009-03-07T17:12:00.000-08:00

During one of our many phone calls today, my sister informed that people want to know what you are eating. So by her request I will also include my meals for that specific day in my blog.

Today:

Breakfast: coffee & 1 melba toast
Lunch: 100g Talapia, handful of cabbage, a slice of onion, 1 breadstick & orange
Dinner: 100g shrimp, handful of cabbage
Snack: 1/2 grapefruit
1/2 gallon water & 5 cups of hot tea w/ stevia

I am also over the hunger pangs and I feel great!

P2 VLCD Day 6

2009-03-07T11:34:00.000-08:00

Today I weighed in at 192 lbs.! That is a total of 11lbs since Monday! I am so excited. Last night it was a real struggle not to eat anything bad. It is hard not to snack when everyone around you is constantly eating something. Everytime I had the urge to eat, I drank something. It was really tough. I never realized how much food I was consuming on the weekends. I am quite satisfied with the food that I have been eating. The flavors are so much better to me for some reason. I really think all of the "food enhancements" & chemicals that they put into our foods make us addicted to eat more than we should. I am really amazed at my willpower. Everytime I look at the chocolate chip cookies on the kitchen counter I just remember that doing this Protocol is something I must do to change my life. If I mess that up now then I will always fail at loosing the weight. This morning it was so exciting to try on clothes that I have either never worn (still have the tags on them) or could not fit into for some time now. Half of my clothes in my closet will have to go to charity when I am done. I refuse to ever go back to being big again. I am determined not to give into the urge. Until tomorrow!

P2 VLCD Day 5

2009-03-06T08:24:00.000-08:00

I am down another 1.4 lbs!! This morning I weighed in at 193.2Lbs!! I could not believe it. I have not been at this weight in a while. Funny thing happened to me this morning. I went to the gym to walk the treadmill and I started feeling weak. I lasted 15 mins in the gym. I think that I may have to take a break from the gym until I am finished my first round. My sister worked out for almost 2 hrs and she was so weak and shaky. Is this normal???

The weekends are so hard for me and always has been when I am dieting. The family is home and everyone is basically snacking all day long. The weather is supposed to be nice so I hope to spend most of the time outside doing something fun. Until tomorrow!!

P2 VLCD Day 4

2009-03-05T05:33:00.000-08:00

I am down to 194.6lbs today. Woo Hoo!!! I am so excited. I was having hunger pangs since Monday. I decided to spread my meals out during the day. Hopefully today it will not be that bad today. Until tomorrow..

P2 VLCD Day 3

2009-03-04T04:55:00.000-08:00

I got up this morning and weighed myself and I am totally shocked. 195.6 So far that is 7.4 lbs! I could not believe it so I measured myself and here are the stats:

Waist 36/-.5
Chest 38.5/-4.5
Arm 13.5/-.5
Thighs 23/-2
Hips 43/-2
Total: -9.5

I was going to go to the gym today but I don't think I will. I am afraid that I may not loose as much as I can by keeping my activities to a minimum like Dr Simeons says. I have been following his Protocol strictly. Well, I am off to start the day. Until tomorrow!

P2 VLCD Day 2

2009-03-03T10:37:00.000-08:00

This morning I weighed in at 198.4! Amazing... I am so excited about seeing that number on the scale. It is so great to be on a diet that actually works. I am doing really good so far on the eating. I was hungry about 1 hour before lunch. I decided to spread out my meals during the day. Today I bought the grissini and melba toast. It is so nice to have my sister there for support. We are loosing the same amount of weight and having the same physical reactions to the Hcg. I drank so much yesterday that I was back and forth to relieve myself most of the day. I guess that is how the fat particles are leaving my body. Well I am looking forward to tomorrow. Until then!

P2 VLCD Day 1

2009-03-02T15:27:00.000-08:00

Okay, this diet was hard today. I was hungry and very irritable. We had a snow storm last night and unfortunately everyone was home. I spent 80% of the day in the kitchen cooking or preparing food. It seems like my family eats all day long non-stop. UGH!!!! It was a hard situation but I think I did damn good. I did not waiver from the Protocol at all. My sister is doing the diet with me and we both are having the same weird symptoms. My muscles ache and I have small bursts of energy throughout the day. Is that normal?? Hopefull I will be able to get some sleep soon. The constant bathroom trips in the middle of the night kept me up a good part of the night. This morning I weighed in at 200lbs. I weighed myself yesterday afternoon and I was up 3lbs. That was from the "loading" days I think. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. My SO will be at work and we will be back to a normal schedule. I am ready to hit the gym and walk the treadmill. I need to relieve some stress. Until tomorrow!

2nd Loading Day

2009-03-01T11:49:00.000-08:00

OMG I am so sick!!!! I have eaten so much these past two days that I just cannot fit anymore. I still ate pretty healthy things like I normally eat. Instead of having one helping of food at a meal, I added another. I just finished a turkey meatball, spinach, and beans stoup & I am stuffed. I almost threw up after dinner last night. I am not even hungry at all. My husband is so negative about this whole thing. I just cannot wait to show him that I am going to lose weight this time. Yesturday I bought everything I needed for the week and I decided to keep a notebook of my meals and measurements. I didn't weigh in today but I will in the morning when I wake up. Thank you all for reading my blog and supporting me in this journey. I am very grateful!

Just a little background information about me

I am married and have 3 children. I started dieting a year ago and my weight has gone up and down. The most I have lost is 10lbs. I was smaller when I started exercising and gradually gained a few pounds over the course of the year. I work out 5 and sometimes 6 days a week. I was counting calories for a while and got tired of keeping track of everything. It just became tiring and I was not seeing the results I wanted. The women in my extended family are all the same size and larger. I am one of the smaller women in my immediate family. I found the Hcg Protocol while searching for b12 Lipo shots. I just could not get over all the succes stories I read and I was very intrigued about this whole program. My goal is to lower the level of exercise during the 2nd phase and stay on the original Simeons Protocol. Today was my first "loading" day and it has been challenging so far. I am not hungry at all and have no cravings. My doctor really emphasized on eating orgainc and healthy foods for the VLCD. Later on I will go to the grocery store and get the first week of food items. I feel very happy and full of energy right now. I have no idea how I will feel tomorrow. So far I only got sick 1 time and that was after eating breakfast. My body just could not take the pastry I ate I guess.

I will post here daily so I can keep track of my progress. My ultimate goal is to loose at least 50lbs. I am using the Hcg orally.

Waiting for Friday

2009-02-24T11:46:00.000-08:00

I will begin the Hcg Diet protocol with a doctor on Friday. For the past few days I have been searching the internet looking for any negative comments or feedback about this diet. I have found NONE. So with that in mind, I am truly looking forward to finally loosing the wieght that I have held on to for several years. I guess I am one of the lucky ones to have someone willing to participate in this journey with me. My sister and I both need to loose almost the same amount of weight. I know this diet will not be easy by any means. I am just glad to have her by my side the whole way to support me and help me to stay on track. I will post my start weight and stats on Saturday and start blogging on a regular basis.
